Patent EP-1253709-A2 (EP)
Title: Signal amplification device
Inventor: TAKEUCHI SEIJI
IPC: H03F3/34
Filed: 2002-03-27
Abstract: A differential amplifier circuit section (10), which
realizes a reduction in power consumption of a signal
amplification device, converts an input voltage signal into a
current signal and then outputs the signal to a current mirror
circuit section (12). Because an input-side current path of
the current mirror circuit section (12) does not include a
resistor and a current signal is not converted into a current
signal at an output terminal (14) of the differential
amplifier circuit section (10), a power supply voltage (V DD )
can be reduced to the value of product of source-drain
voltages of transistors (MP2, MN2, and MN3). The current
signal supplied to the input-side current path of the current
mirror circuit section (12) is mirrored in the output-side
current path and is then converted into a voltage signal
through a resistor (R L ) disposed in the path to be generated
from an output terminal (18).

Abstract: A washer (6), to be applied between a nut (3) threadingly connected with a
bolt (1) which has an axis (A2) and an object (2) including at least two parts to be
assembled, has a body (7) having an axis (A1) and is provided with a first bearing face
surface (8) located at one axial side and adapted to cooperate with the nut (5), and a second
bearing face surface (9) located at an opposite axial side and adapted to cooperate with the
object (2). At least one third turning resistant surface (10) of the washer (6) is adapted to
cooperate with a thread of the bolt (1), so that when the nut (3) is turned with a given
torque in one direction and the body (7) of the washer receives simultaneously the given
force in an opposite direction, only the nut (3) turns to tighten or loosen the bolt (1) while
the body of the washer and the bolt remain rotation stationary. A new method and a new
power tool can be employed to use the new washer.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des procédés, des compositions et des kits permettant de déterminer un ou plusieurs polypeptides cibles dans un échantillon, ces polypeptides cibles ayant été soumis à une modification post-translationnelle. L'invention porte sur un mélange comprenant l'échantillon et un premier réactif comprenant une fraction induisant un clivage, et un premier agent de liaison d'un site de liaison sur un polypeptide cible est soumis à des conditions dans lesquelles la liaison des fractions respectives se réalise. Le site de liaison est le résultat de l'activité de la modification post-translationnelle impliquant le polypeptide cible. Le procédé peut être utilisé pour déterminer le polypeptide cible lui-même. Selon une autre réalisation, la présence et/ou la quantité du polypeptide cible est relative à la présence et/ou la quantité et/ou l'activité d'un agent tel qu'une enzyme impliquée dans la modification post-translationnelle du polypeptide cible. L'interaction entre le premier agent de liaison et le site de liaison amène la fraction induisant le clivage tout à proximité d'une fraction de clivage qui est associée au polypeptide et qui est susceptible de se cliver uniquement lorsqu'elle est à proximité de la fraction induisant le clivage. De cette façon, une étiquette électrophorétique pour chaque polypeptide peut être libérée. Les étiquettes électrophorétiques libérées sont séparées et la présence et/ou la quantité des polypeptides cibles sont déterminées en fonction des étiquettes électrophorétiques correspondantes.
